Adults with Medicare Health Insurance

This indicator shows the percentage of adults aged 18 years and older that have Medicare health insurance coverage.
Why is this important?
Medicare is the federal health insurance program for people who are 65 or older, certain younger people with disabilities, and people with End-Stage Renal Disease (permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or a transplant, sometimes called ESRD). Medicare provides protection against many health care service costs, but may have high deductibles and cost-sharing requirements and place no limit on beneficiaries' out-of-pocket spending. Medicare does not pay for some services vital to older people and those with disabilities, including long-term services and supports, dental services, eyeglasses, or hearing aids. Beneficiaries enrolled in Part D plans may also be subject to higher drug costs if they fall into the drug benefit's coverage gap.
